I am currently a PhD student in astronomy and Future Investigator in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology at the University of Wyoming. I use data from our telescope and the Apache Point Observatory to examine the tiny particles of dust between the stars. I obtained my MS in Physics and Astronomy from UWyo in May 2020 after receiving my BS in Engineering Physics from Colorado School of Mines in May 2018.

In 2021, I was named a Mass Media Fellow at the American Association for the Advancement of Science. While stationed at KUNC in Greeley, Colorado, I crafted science stories for the daily podcast, 'Colorado Edition'. My goal is to tell the true stories of science-- and make them understandable and fascinating for all. Radio is an incredible way to do that because I share the actual voices of scientists.

Additionally, I write for both the American Institute of Physics and the Astrobites blog. As a freelancer with AIP, I translate scientific papers into press releases that capture attention and key ideas. As an Astrobites author, I present scientific papers in a way that undergraduates can easily understand.

From June 2020 to June 2021, I was a science intern at Wyoming Public Radio, where I pitched, wrote, voiced, and produced short news spots and feature-length stories for the podcast, 'Open Spaces'. I covered a broad range of science topics, from climate change and animal migration to microbiology and black holes.
